Perhaps not useful, but fun anyway.
In case anyone was wondering what C and I did in the extra hour yesterday (OK, so you probably weren't, but I'm blogging about it anyway), we went Geocaching again, dragging Ce with us again, although yesterday's hill was smaller than last week's, mainly because Ce refused to relive the torment of last week. Again, Harry was a very happy dog.
And did we find our cache? We did.
THIS TIME, I have made sure that the pictures are big enough so that no one complains, and so that the, er, items inside the box can be identified, if anyone cares enough to want to identify them. C was very, very excited* that we found a Travel Bug and declared that Geocaching is her "new favourite thing," adding that she is "easily pleased." Quite.
[* Secretly, I am excited too, but I am also a bit worried that we now temporarily have a Travel Bug in our kitchen, when it is meant to be, er, travelling. It's a bit like harbouring stolen goods or something like that - not that I'd know! - and I want to get rid of it as soon as possible ... which probably means we have to go up another hill.]
And that isn't all. We also found this:
Does any bright spark know what it is (no, not you, Ce or C!)? And before anyone asks, YES, WE DO KNOW WHAT IT IS! HAAA.
Comments
Last picture is too small to make out properly what it is (I should add that I now wear glasses so I'm entitled to be a moaning 4 eyed git now)

Beautiful photos, looks like an excellent use of an hour, I'm intrigued by the travel bug, why don't you wear it when outside the house (looks like a dog tag) the owner will then see it wandering all over the place! Looks like you are living somewhere very magical - good for you!

Is it somewhere where people used to cook and chop things?

A Clue: Something was kept in there.

Vegetable boxes(!)

Hey E If it were vegetble boxes I bet you'd still find some medieval celeriac and kohl rabi in there that nobody knew what to do with!

OPD, aye indeed! Can you envisage J & C in their medieval frockettes floundering in the field with wooden spoons frowning about what the hell to cook a celeriac with?

quelle visage! thanks E for that fabulous image - J in a bonnet! so, are we gonna get an answer or what?

J will kill me for this, but another clue - its linked to a specific animal.

Sheep latrines? Sheep hot tubs? Fox tanning booths - cattle massage parlour - come on what is it!?

Presumably used for feeding, or keeping food dry?
The animal would need to be tall enough (esp by the height of the left one), to get its head in there to eat. Thus I vote for cows. However, what's that part of the world famed for keeping? Would help to know how far up a hill it was - effects which livestock - and since J mentioned hills, then its unlikely to be dairy (unless there's farm nearby).
Sheep? Pigs? Little green animals with 3 legs and one eye?
Are we supposed to go onto the geocaching website to find the information / additional clue that came with this cache? However, I'm not nerd enough to click onto random boxes on the map.
